1891 Scottish census on FindmyPast

Findmypast has released a transcript of the 1891 Scottish census on its site at www.findmypast.co.uk, joining the previously released censuses from 1841-1881. This leaves just 1901 to be made available on the site.

No plans have been announced as yet to make the 1911 census available in due course, though this can be found on parent company Brightsolid's sister site, ScotlandsPeople (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk), operated in partnership with the Scottish Government.
